StitchFix #16 (or the one where they didn’t listen to anything I asked)

Another day, another StitchFix (technically, it’s two words — Stitch Fix — but pretty sure everyone under the sun spells it as one word). After the last one and sending back the shirt because it had a hole, I was feeling pessimistic but decided to give SF another chance. (Maybe I’m a masochist?)

I asked for: 1-2 dresses for summer weddings, short-sleeve or sleeveless tops, mostly solid colors (no red, orange, or yellow), and all V- or U-neck (crew neck is not flattering on me). Here’s what I received:

PIXLEY Pestova Knot Back Top ($44)

Well. This is a pattern — and a very busy one, at that. It’s an odd fit, too; the sides expose bra and it’s a little short in the front.

Steve: “Why do they keep sending you shirts that look like you’re going to Woodstock?”

PAPERMOON Neptune Racerback Top ($38)

Another pattern. I do like this one, and the back is a cute racerback with a solid blue section. (I didn’t show it because I had massive cupping marks.) I guess it’s kind of U-neck, but I don’t love the cut or the pattern.

Steve: “This might be the only thing I’ve ever liked.” WHAT!?

41 HAWTHORN Arlinda Textured Dress ($68)

You can’t really tell, but this is black with a dark purple pattern. I’m okay with a pattern on the dress, but this is very dark for summer weddings. It’s cute, but not sure if it’s cute enough.

I had to cancel, they were ignoring my feedback entirely. None of the tops they sent me were ever work appropriate (or they sent brown and navy which I said I don’t wear.) It’s unfortunate because it’s such a good idea.
Look at Trunk Club, I haven’t tried it but I heard good things.

I looked into it and they say $100-200 for a top — eek! That’s a little more than I’m willing to spend. When I told the stylist like $75 and I only wanted dresses and tops, she said, “I don’t think this is the service for you.” Um, ok.

I got the same response from my Trunk Club stylist. I told her I was fine spending more if she could help me find a few staples, specifically a black blazer and a great pair of jeans. Twice I was sent Navy blazers and colored denim. Had to cancel – was not a fan at all. I’ve actually been doing Le Tote and like it a lot so far!

I’ve put my stitch fix on hold because I wasn’t getting what I asked for. I guess that it is not time yet to activate it. Btw- I think that the purple and black dress looks great on you and I’d wear it to a wedding if it wasn’t an outdoor event.
